Introduction
Energy consumption in Indonesia has been expanding at relatively high rate, with an
average of 10% during period of 1970-2002 [2]. Energy fossil sources mainly come from oil,
natural gas and coal. These fossil energy resources, if new reserves can not be found, the oil
reserves will be depleted in ten years, natural gas in 30 years and coal is more than 50 years.
Indonesia is blessed with abundant potential of renewable energy like geothermal, hydropower,
biomass, solar energy, and wind energy. However, the utilization of renewable energy in
Indonesia is still very low compare to its huge potential.

fulfil the need of energy and organic fertilizer for a sustainable agriculture and healthy
environment.
Biogas production needs a digester. Digester could reduce methane gas (CH4) emission by
decomposition of organic matter from agriculture and animal husbandry sectors. Using
digester, cow dung is fermented and resulted methane gas (CH4). Methane gas is one of
glasshouse gas that could affect to global warming. Local efforts for reduction of methane gas
would be have a positive efect to global climate change. Indirectly, it also indicate a
participation of international program, namely Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of
Kyoto Protocol.
Biogas Technology Development in ICAERD
In 2005, ICAERD has been developing a fixed dome type digester for 10 heads of cow
with cow dung of 20kg/day/head, retention time 45 day and digester capacity is 18 m3.
Estimated biogas production is 6 m3/ day (with average biogas production of 30 liters gas/ kg
cow dung). Schematic flows of biogas processing are shown in Figure 1. Building of
construction was conducted in 3 steps, as follows: (1) water reservoir (2) design and
development of digester, gas holder and purification of methane gas, and (3) analysis of biogas
quality and analysis of environmental impacts. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are design drawing and
realization of construction building, respectively. Biogas is utilized for stove and lighting as
shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 [11].
Further development, in 2006, biogas utilization are planned to several uses such as gas
bottling and generating combustion engine for electric generator and/or other utilization such
as generating chopper, mixer for animal feeding, etc.

Environmental Issues
Every nation in the world is now understand, that bio energy technologies are friendlier to
the environment than conventional energy technologies, which rely on fossil fuels. We also
deeply understood that fossil fuels contribute significantly to many of the environmental
problems we face to day greenhouse gases, air pollution, and water and soil contamination.
Development of science and technology provide us understanding and knowledge, that
bio-energy could help us break our conventional pattern of energy use to improve the quality of
our environment.
2. Development at Agribusiness Region
In India and China, biogas technology development has been running fastly. In 1998,
India had 12 million units biogas processing instalation for generating 17000 MW electricity.
While China had 9 million units processing instalation with estimation gas production of
62000 145000 million m3. Indonesia has potential of biogas energy 684.83 MW with
installed capacity of 0.06 MW or only 8.76 103 % was utilized [2, 9].
Biogas technology development (cow dung) in Indonesia has a good prospect because of
development of animal husbandry at several agribusiness regions [3,4], such as:

a.
Tripartite Cooperation
Many sides that competences realize that the huge potency of biomass of agricultural
waste could be utilized as a solution on energy crises. Therefore, it is needed a synergic
cooperation among governmental body, researcher and businessman in renewable energy field.
This tripartite cooperation should answer (1) database to identify the real potency of biomass
and its distribution at all over Indonesia region, (2) expertise sharing for stabilizing an
applicable biomass processing technology, (3) governmental policy on development and
utilization of renewable energy, including an incentive reward for increasing invest on
renewable energy business (Figure 6)[5].
Conclusions
1.
Wastes of cattle farm enable environmental pollution (soil, water, air and biology). These
polutions have been implicated as a cause of decrease quality of life for neighboring
communities, with additional possible negative consequences on human health and welfare.
2. Development regions could be used as target of zero waste concept application on
agricultural farming practices by sustainable and environmental friendly ways. Development
of biogas technology should follow government policies and development strategies to apply
this concept.
3. It was identified that biogas technology development had several constrains such as: lack
of technical expertise, misfunction of digester (leak, miscontruction,etc.), design was not user
friendly, need manually handling (when feeding/ taking out effluent from digester), and cost
for construction was expensive. Therefore, for supporting development of biogas technology,
it is needed a strategy and strong comitment from every component, e.g. society, government
and stake holders.
